2016 Motor Trend Best Driver's Car
 

Figured I'd post all of them here in one thread for everybody to enjoy. I'll add the rest as they make their way onto Youtube. I won't give anything away, but I have to say, I'm really surprised when it comes to that new Camaro. Definitely a bargain considering the level of performance.

Were these the only cars compared? The cheapest is still over 40k. :(

There's more, but the videos haven't been released yet. I don't know all of the vehicles in the test. I know the new 2017 GTR and Jaguar F Type Coupe are still to be done, but I don't know about any others.

Looks like the cheapest is going to be the muscle cars, 4 more 'revealed' tomorrow but you can see the 12 car lineup in the thumbnail for this video:

Looks like a GT-R, Porsche, Viper, and Jaguar are coming tomorrow.

damnn Randy Pobst i think he got one of the best jobs testing and driving all theses new car, I envy him lol

I wouldn't be surprised if they picked the 350R, that's for sure.

Chevy's performance division is kicking ass and taking names right now.

Looking at these laptimes and CD Lightning Lap, their performance cars are equaling cars far above their price.

Camaro V6 1LE = S550 Mustang GT PP / Focus RS / Hellcat
Camaro SS 1LE = Cayman GT4 / M4 GTS
C7 Vette GS = 991 GT3 RS / McLaren 570S
C7 Vette Z06* = 488GTB / Viper ACR / McLaren 650S

i only care about the world's greatest drag race

Original post updated with the last of the cars.

My comment stands about the Camaro.

Meh...not feeling that list.

Not really my favorite list either, in all honesty. Blame car manufacturers for not bringing out anything more affordable and appealing lol.

FRS/BRZ has already been tested. So has the MX5, Fiesta/Focus ST, Golf R, etc. So, there isn't really much out there that's new to test.

Sucks that Ferrari is so stupid when it comes to these tests, and won't give MT a car. I'd love to see how the new 488GTB did in comparison.

Right, the people over at Ferrari are such wusses, same deal when everyone was trying to have some fun and test the LaFerrari against P1 and 918....

So many hot Carrera models and they went with the second from the bottom, a C2S? Sigh. The 911R was new this year, why not that?
